Weak Wi-Fi is the bane of many a home. Dead spots, unreliable connections and slow speeds are common problems. Possible solutions can range from running Ethernet cables around your home to installing Wi-Fi range extenders.

Very easy to set up; Delivers great performance and coverage

Distinctly pricey; Doesn't currently support YouView streaming

Mesh Wi-Fi networks have been all the rage ever since Eero introduced its first router system last February. These Wi-Fi systems are designed for large houses or offices that would typically need to be served by multiple routers or Wi-Fi range extenders.

Great range; Excellent performance; especially over large distances; Easy to set up

Expensive; Barebones app

Sometimes, no amount of prime router placement can get you decent Wi-Fi coverage throughout your house. Netgear isn't the first to try and solve this problem, but its new Orbi Wi-Fi system tackles it pretty handily.

Excellent coverage; Easy setup; Approachable design

Mighty pricey; Finicky Wi-Fi band settings

The Orbi system is expensive, even given the fact that it includes both a router and satellite together. If you only have one room where the wi-fi doesn't work very well then you could save money simply by buying an inexpensive powerline adaptor or range extender for that particular spot.

I needed to boost my wi fi from house to office attached 40m from router and though 3 walls. Easy to set up in minutes.. signal was poor at secondary reciever then i raised to line of sight and Boom awesome signal and full wi fi at Office PC and i phones etc through out the property (4000sq ft) home...

After years of having to put up with poor wireless due to extremely thick granite walls and countless attempts to use ever more expensive dual band routers and extenders to solve the issue, I was dubious to say the least that this router would offer more than a slight boost in range and speed.

I've been using the Orbi for more than 3 months now. During those 3 months I haven't had a single instance of instability, and the performance has been outstanding! I've installed a few mesh products for friends and family, and while this was probably the least straightforward installation of them,...

The Netgear Orbi is one of the best devices in its class and after it has gained the daisy-chain capabilities, it became a more complete device, while still being able to outperform all of the popular wireless mesh systems from the market.

Stellar Wireless Performance; Dedicated Backhaul 5Ghz Radio; MU-MIMO Technology; Easy-to-Use Interface

Very Expensive; There Are Some Dormant Features; Ethernet Backhaul Is Unstable

The Orbi RBK50 is a high performance mesh Wi-Fi system from NETGEAR that aims to provide the best-possible balance of performance, coverage area, and customization. Featuring a router unit and a satellite unit that look right at home at, well, home, it will also support all your smart devices via a...

This system is amazing!! We have over 50 things in our home connected to WiFi and this does not disappoint. It keeps up the speed well and doesn't slow down even with all those things connected. I would definitely recommend it to anyone and say to spend the extra money for this.
